HMT motorcycle bandwagon....MY New OLD bike:
 

So with all the recent hoopla about old vintage bikes and the like recently... Thought Id post a pic of the 1969 Triumpgh bonneville My old man has had in the garage for the last 15 years gathering dust... I got the ------- thing running!!!! It leaks oil and needs some seals (which I bet are a ----------er to find)... BUt its a REAL Bonneville... with two seats (you can see the other cafe seat sitting in the bottom of the pics.... It sounds so awesome....... He wanted to sell it, but I think Im going to get him to give it to me... Ive been busting ass oin his COrvette and hes pumped..... so, I mentioned it.. He seems cool with it..... Its a really cool bike... One you DEFINATELY dont see every day....

Poor Vettes tires... we beat the ---- out of it today.... Some kind of funky issue though it still dont stop for ----.


ANYWAYS....

THe aluminum barely needs a polish to be BLINGING (Tank is all aluminum as well.....) ... I just wiped it off, changed the oil (you can see the puddle in the pics from it sitting for sooo ------- long), cleaned the carbs, put gas in it and put plugs in it. It started right up


I talk too much:

Got hung up on the Vette yesteday for a while, so I fucked around with the Bonneville... I was happy it ran!!!! Needs to be gone through, think im going to pull it all apart and repaint the frame and polish EVERYTHING.

Not NEARLY VINTAGE THOUGH

Re: HMT motorcycle bandwagon....MY New OLD bike:
 

Well ----, heres one of mine right after i shot the paint and reassembled it. This is before the new tires and clubmans. Still thinking i want to do something different with the seat though. Its hard as ---- to find this model around here, and if you do, they want like 2500$ for them. not cheap anymore.

another new bike, bought it a little over a week ago, and have put on about 800 miles so far. Real comfortable but it still performs fairly well.

I forgot to take any pictures when I picked it up, but here is how it sat after my last ride.

how much was it?

Re: HMT motorcycle bandwagon....MY New OLD bike:
 

$5k

Pricier than a CBR600, but i want to build a street fighter, and it is mostly there already. Plus my insurance on a CBR would be $1300/YR, this is $200/YR :D
